Looks pretty nice if the rendering is true to color on the facade. Scotia Place a bit generic, maybe Scotia Firedome or something unique with a bit more character
Bell Centre in Montreal has 21K seats and they regret building it so big as it is too cavernous, less than ideal sightlines and when the team is not doing well, HARD to sell out, It is the same issue with the United Centre in Chicago which is also over 20K for Hockey. Hockey arenas are best kept under 20K 😅
@jasonyau326 shitty when you're watching a hockey game, but let's talk things we can't accommodate. Red Bull Drift events, Motocross, Monster Jam is a big example too. We need a major super sized center. It could draw alot of crowds for other things. Because if you've ever seen it, you'd know, seeing monster trucks rolling over a bicycle ramp in Roger's place is a joke compared to them selling the same show in Vegas where they're throwing the trucks about a hundred feet through the air doing all kinds of flips and stuff.
@@jasonyau326 21K also helps them be the loudest arena in the NHL. In my opinion in the cold winters the dome is always sold out same with playoff games that’s half the fun is how loud and packed the arena is shitty seats or not guys r there to cheer on the flames. It’s one of the most expensive arenas they are gunna build they can’t add a few rows higher up to get till 20k?
@@keloonpa58.62 selling out the Saddledome then having a 900 million dollar arena being built to only have less fans in the building ? More seats would bring more fans in
Congratulations to you guys, from an Oilers fan. I do hope they don’t call the arena “place” like the Roger’s place. Call it Scotia dome or arena or whatever
@@idiotandco.1750No it is bad. It’s all bad. The design is a horrible, hideous monstrosity that looks like the cross between a shitty mall and a shitty gas station. The seating capacity is smaller when our city has nearly DOUBLED IN SIZE. And the name is GARBAGE. FUCK SCOTIABANK. FUCK ALL THE BANKS. WE DON’T NEED THEIR STUPID NAMES AND LOGOS ON EVERYTHING.
At 1.3 billion dollars it’s the most expensive arena in the world. Places like LA and Dallas have fields where their nfl team plays that’s more expensive, but it’s classified as a field rather than an arena. Also both those cities have different arenas their nba and nhl teams play in. Arena wise this will be the most expensive
I think it 1.3billion number comes from not just the arena but the retail developments all around it. I don’t think it’s more Expensive than edmontons.
First thing I think of when I hear Calgary is "Scotia". Be it there beloved Schooners, or the French Acadian culture. Nothing better represents that Alberta Cowboy tradition. ;-)
I swear I can see a cowboy hat at the perfect angle. Is Nickelback getting a residency like Billy Joel has at MSG??!? They seem to be the only concert Calgary can host.
So The New Arena Is To Be Built On The Convergence Of The Bow & Elbow Rivers A Natural Flood Plain I Hope They Have Considered This Contingency In The Design. The Saddledome Got Flooded & We Have Been Talking A New Building Since!
The community is already calling it the "The fireplace". We're all tired of the lame boring corporate BS naming. Whoever names these arenas needs to be fired
I feel great for Flames fans today! I really do. They deserve that beautiful new, state of the art building to lose games in. As an Oilers fan, I always felt kinda bad that we had that nice new building to kick yer asses in while you guys were stuck with that dilapidated old cattle barn to get blown out in. It's gonna be great to have those stylin' new digs to whup your butts in. Here's to many happy 12-0 routs! See y'all opening night! (PS - Dress 5 goalies... yer gonna need 'em!)
@@jjferary2381 What are some of the way more important things that make this the most expensive arena? I'm willing to be sold on it, just need more than 18k capacity L vs "way more important things"
Ok let me stop you there. Real talk time. Because Roger's place is a bit of a joke. You see that entire building was built around being a hockey rink and nothing else. Alberta needs something bigger, alot bigger. You ever see a Monster Jam show in our province?? Monster trucks rolling over a little bicycle ramp? It's pathetic. We as a province need a super sized center, it could host all forms of motorsport and action. It could be a global landmark for everything from Drift Competitions, Monster trucks, UFC and Wrestling, all forms of main stream sports. Entire music festivals. So please, don't spend another $600,000,000+ on a simple "hockey rink". Side note, one thing that would be a tourist boom and could fit into the center of my dream, a indoor year round ski resort. We need one as a province.
Really? Can it be any uglier? It's like individual pieces of 5 different jigsaw puzzles. This has DEI written all over it. Where will you be flying the pride flag? Sad!
The monopoly Rogers/Scotiabank has in Canada is crazy!

“The desire to gather has grown…so we made an even smaller arena”
Less seats so they can jack up prices.
It’s not too late to change the name!

For real. I think firedome is s real nice name
Sick of these lame names every Canadian team has for an arena.
Wouldn't say the name is terrible, I would just say it's not as good as Scotiabank Saddledome
Sponsorship is a hell of a drug isn't it.
At least call it Scotiabank place
@jordancada Actually, the Senators had the name Scotiabank Place back in the 2000's before it was called the Canadian Tire Center
Money talks
🔥THE FIRE PIT🔥
Should’ve at least been 20k seats
Should’ve been built 20 years ago
Should’ve been 23,000 seats.
Should’ve been the same Saddledome design except bigger and more features.

You have GOT to change the name. “Scotia Place” is too generic and boring.
Sounds too much like Edmonton and Vancouver.
Change the name.
Except both Edmonton and Vancouver's are Rogers not Scotia. so really the only similarity is the word place...

Welcome to the scotia spitting fire horse barn 🔥 between the calgary flames n the Vancouver Canucks
Ever Since The Flames Moved Out Of Atlanta, I Was Wondering Bout A Building Like This!
Honestly amazing upgrade but for 900 million I would have expected more than 18000 seats
this is standard for nhl rinks its not a football stadium
We aren’t consistently selling out the saddledome so what would the point be?

Better than sending it to far away lands
New project for Calgary stampede all right I can’t wait to experience new arena and the next season of NHL.

"Scotia Corral" as a tribute to the past
God damn better have a joint section outside. Nothing worse then a game and no doobie

cool name, definitely would suit chicago tho
Firedome 🔥
We MUST keep the old goal horn. It’s the best in the league 🔥
My ahh immediately thought “Nova Scotia?” When reading the title 💀💀💀
I swear I can see a cowboy hat at the perfect angle.
Is Nickelback getting a residency like Billy Joel has at MSG??!? They seem to be the only concert Calgary can host.
What a missed opportunity to call it the "Scotia Corral" or something else that stuck with the theme of Calgary.
Taxpayers shouldnt be paying a dime compared to what the owners are worth. If they want a new arena they can pay for it.
😭😭😭
Used To Be The Saddle Dome Is This Now The "Hot Seat"?

It’s not shaped like a saddle. So no they wouldn’t do that
You’re right, but sometimes you got to pay tribute to your former arena
Should have been Rogers Garden
GARBAGE 🗑️
Call it scotia dome
Stop being woke. It's not cool.
Just name it Air Canada center/arena. Please no more Rogers and Scotia. Something unique like the saddledome
I see no effort was made in the naming of the arena. Such a shame.
I think it's funny that when they show the "world class athletes" they don't show the Flames. The "Hitmen" are better than their NHL team.
